From night shift chaos to wedding day perfection

Jackie was truly the backbone of our wedding planning process. As night shift nurses with impossible schedules, we had no idea how we were going to pull everything together—but she made it feel effortless. She worked around our crazy hours, was always available to talk, and somehow kept everything organized and on track. Her calm, supportive presence made such a difference, and we genuinely don’t know what we would have done without her. We are so grateful for everything she did to make our day perfect.

Highly Recommend STTK!

We would highly recommend using Smooth Tie the Knots (STTK) as your wedding planner/coordinator. We found Jackie through a recommendation from our neighbor, who used STTK for both of their daughter's weddings. We went with the Crystal Partial Planning Package, and it made a tremendous difference in our planning process. Jackie kept us on track and on time with her clear expertise and calm demeanor. Jackie connected us with great vendors in her expansive network, and together, the wedding went off without a hitch. If you are considering a wedding planning/coordinating service, STTK would be an excellent choice. It was money well spent, and we would choose STTK again!

Excellent! So glad we decided to go with Jackie!

Our daughter's wedding was so smooth and so much of the reason was having Jackie on our team! She was ALWAYS able to give us great advice on what to do when, and also WHO to select for the key partners you need for your wedding. Otherwise, it feels like you are guessing. She was calm (you want that!), sincere and positive. With Jackie involved, she encouraged us to relax and enjoy the day of the wedding. We did. It was GREAT! Her calmness helped everyone else stay calm on a day when that doesn't always happen. We have said it a bunch of times... IT WAS $ SO WELL SPENT and would do it again in a heartbeat!

Unbelievable Experience!!!

Our experience with Jackie was top notch. When we first reached out to her we knew she was the perfect choice. She was so thorough when explaining the process and proper wedding etiquette, which we found so helpful as we had never done this before. We knew exactly what our responsibilities were and knew she would handle the rest. She came highly recommended by our Venue(Lanier Islands Resort) and worked flawlessly with them, as well as with our DJ and Photographer. If there was anything that went wrong during our Big Day, we didn't know about it. I cannot even begin to explain how helpful she was on our wedding day. She was there during every little moment to ensure EVERYTHING was executed perfectly. Her assistant Katy was also so personable with us on our wedding day and we know why Jackie chose her to be there. WE cannot say enough about Jackie and her team and we highly recommend her to anyone who desires an unbelievable experience on one of the most important days of your life! Thank you so much Jackie!

The A-Team

I have nothing but positive things to say when it comes to working with Mrs. Jackie's team. From the first meeting, she was super open to listen to our ideas and gave us plenty of tips even before deciding to go with her as our wedding coordinator. Once deicing to go with her team, she mapped out a timeline and added resources I could find helpful when it came to floral, bridal bouquets and bridal cakes. Not knowing where to begin, Jackie and her team guided both my husband and I on every detail, from big to small, and also helped us pick some amazing videography/photography/DJ vendors, that I am also super content we decided to go with them. Overall, Jackie and her experienced team were by far the A-Team that we could have asked for to help make sure our wedding turned out amazing, especially since I was super stressed with everything and Jackie gave me the reassurance I needed. Our family and friends had such great feedback when it came to the coordination of all the events during our big wedding day! I would hands down recommend Smooth Tie The Knot to any bride-to-be out there that is in need of a wedding planner. Overall super satisfied with how everything turned out and beyond grateful for their patience and dedication to making sure our wedding day flowed smoothly.

Magical Day !!!

I cannot say enough good things about Jackie and her team! We live in Michigan so I was very nervous planning a wedding in Georgia! Jackie made sure all my fears and anything I was nervous about was taken care of. When I say she took the stress out of wedding planning she really did!!! There were so many small details I never would have thought of like plate chargers or just small things . She promised us a perfect and magical day and that’s exactly what it was all the way until the last minute! I would hire them again in a heartbeat and recommend them to anyone getting married!

Highly Highly Recommend!!

Jackie was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, she made the entire wedding planning process completely stress-free. Her organization skills are unmatched, and her wealth of experience gave me so much confidence every step of the way. She had an answer for every question I asked and always knew exactly what needed to be done—even before I did!

Jackie worked seamlessly with all of my vendors, making sure everyone was on the same page and everything ran smoothly. She handled every challenge that came up behind the scenes—putting out fires without me even knowing—and truly was a lifesaver. Because of her, I was able to fully enjoy the day without any worry.

My wedding day was the best day of my life, and Jackie played a huge role in making it perfect. I can’t recommend her enough!

Best Wedding planner ever! 🤩

Jackie was not only my wedding planner. Jackie is my friend. You are not just a number. The entire year Jackie planned and put together my wedding It was a blast. Jackie is fun & treats you with the upmost respect. Me, well, I am all over the place anyways, that being said Jackie kept me on task. Very well organized. We had so much fun together picking out wedding cards & flowers & even the tastings. Jackie arranged all the meetings with the vendors and handled the details of each contract. Jackie even calmed me when she saw me getting rather anxious 😬 Jackie went above and beyond.. I would highly recommended her! Thank you Jackie. I miss our times together 🩷

Review of Smooth Tie-The-Knots

There are no words to express the professionalism and creativity of Jackie Raez and her team. Her assistant Katie is equally as professional. This past weekend was our second experience using Jackie for a wedding event. She is an excellent communicator to start with. Her planning skills are like none I have ever seen. Jackie takes these skills and implements each and every detail. She wants the Bride and Groom to be the center of "Their Day", and makes this happen like Magic! She is a calm person and a true joy to work with. If anyone is searching for a wedding coordinator you will not be disappointed with Smooth Tie-The-Knots!!!

It was wonderful working with Jackie! She is sweet and super-organized. I'm always glad when Jackie is on the job because she makes it easier for all the other vendors to do our jobs well, too.

Although I had heard much about Jackie with Smooth- Tie-The- Knots, I had not had the opportunity to personally to work with her untill my last wedding, and I'm sure glad I did. A couple of traits that immediately stood out to me was her calm demeanor and close attention to the timeline. She had a handle on just about every detail with a serene smile on her face. She has such an easygoing personality, but don't let that fool you! She definitely takes authority when the situation calls for it, and makes quick decisions so the bride can just relax and not worry. She can be trusted for direction and have the answers. I would definitely want her on my team!
